Colbert: Buy my Rocket Fuel Soft Drink

Steven Colbert would like to serve the EPA a cold glass of mockery.

Since the agency may overlook a serious environmental problem, the contamination of US drinking water with perchlorates, an ingredient of rocket fuel, the comedian rationalized that this would be a good time to sell a soft drink called Liquid Launch.

On Wednesday, he raised the question: Why would you want to drink tap water that only contains one ingredient of rocket fuel when you can buy a delicious beverage that contains all of them?

Bravo, Steven! And thanks for including references to CNN and AP stories during your brilliant satire.
